My friend and I stayed here in July for a girls weekend. We walked into our room and it were blown away! I'm not usually a person who even cares about decor of a hotel room, but this room was so pretty. The beds were incredibly comfortable, it had a small kitchen with everything you could possibly need to stay for days including a small kitchen table. The resort itself was also very nice. It was turtle nesting season so the bar closed early and no tiki torches were lit but we went to the indoor bar and the service was wonderful. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely book it again for my next trip down. Oh, and the shopping was just minutes away.

I have stayed at the "Virage" a few times in the past 5yrs. Consistently excellent customer service. The Virage is the hotel behind the luxury Bentley Hotel (same property). The Bentley is undergoing renovations but the hotel & guest services are still excellent. The medium to large room with 2 queens is always clean & quiet. There is a small keurig, fridge, safe, & cable tv. No microwave. The pool area is wonderful & tiki bar with live music poolside. The free breakfast is good with eggs, sausage, biscuits, muffins, fruit, etc. The only negative I can say is the beds are rather firm but not too bad. (Although I don't remember a firm bed on my last stay, so maybe they vary by room). I highly recommend this hotel.

Stayed in Mendes Street villas for first week then transferred to West Venice Avenue. Mendes Street had very good villa but felt a bit isolated. The rooms were large and comfortable. The West Venice property was upstairs and smaller, but the overall impression was much better. It has a very nice swimming pool with sun chairs, bicycles, beach equipment and BBQ's and we found the residents very friendly. The owners were extremely helpful and pleasant. The rooms were within walking distance of both shops and restaurants and at a push the beach.
